This is one of those cases where you want to get rid of the monster-in0chief for a basically unknown quantity. Pence has been a pretty lousy VP, agreeing with everything his master proposes. His values regarding this puts him in question. Either he agrees or he is a hypocrite; guess which is worse. I don't know - both are a bit lousy.
As Governor, he could appeal to a nasty trait in US voters. Bad for the rest, but what-the-hell; if he mounts the throne, he must be better than DT.
The problem there is that you would get a dysfunctional administration for one that knows how to enact the bad things that lurk on the edges - so far - of the US psyche.
Would he keep these mini-monsters that surround DT? What about the Family - somehow I do not see them going quietly. If he did make a clean sweep he would still have the Big Beasts of Congress, D and R, not to mention the poor deluded public. Half the country dislikes him, and that is only going to get larger.

Plus he lied under oath, but these days that doesn't matter.
